    Colleen Blake I was broken hearted that day..you were taking my only big brother from me and I could plainly see how much he loved you & how proud he was of his beautiful new wife. Turns out I loved you as well...you were my new big sister and later would become a 2nd mother to me. You taught me so much...you were sophisticated and so smart. You loved me at my most unlovable...preteen to teen years. You sent me to "White Gloves & Party Manners" classes, you taught me to always choose quality over quantity, to speak up for what I believe in..to have self respect..you were a gentle soul and I am a better person because you were in my life. I'll miss you forever Jeri and will always smile when I hear your name. I love you ...

    Rest easy Jeri.

    Jeri will be greatly missed by her friends and neighbors. I especially will miss her caring, warm nature.

    John & I were lucky enough to live two doors down from Jeri for the last several years. She was kind, funny, compassionate, inquisitive and always willing to listen. It was always a treat to talk to her about politics, local & world affairs, and of course, her family. We will miss her greatly.
